Education

Comprising roughly half of the state of Colorado, the 3rd Congressional District is one of the most diverse regions in the nation. It includes Indian reservations, farming and ranching communities, urban areas, and rural mountain towns. Each of these communities has its own unique characteristics and education needs. Because of this, I believe firmly that education matters are best handled at the local and state levels. The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) was signed into law on December 15, 2015. This law goes a long way towards returning the responsibility for student achievement to states, local school districts, and parents, while maintaining the standards needed to ensure the U.S. remains competitive in the global economy.

A member of Congressman Scott Tipton’s staff will hold office hours throughout the Third Congressional District. During these mobile office hours, Tipton’s staff will be able to assist constituents with issues regarding Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Affairs, Bureau of Land Management, U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Internal Revenue Service as well as acquiring American Flags flown over the United States Capitol and several other constituent services. Appointments are not necessary and all constituents are welcome to attend.
